Hi all,

I've inherited the following code and i was wondering if i could pick at your brains to see if there's a nicer way to do duplicate this.

Heres the html for most of our partial input views

<% if (Html.IsInputReadOnly()) { %>
<td>
    Id
</td>
<td>
<%= Html.TextBox(
   "Id"
   , (Model == null ? null : Model.Id)
   , new { @readonly = "readonly", @disabled="disabled" }
 )%>
 <% } elseif (Html.IsInputDisplayable() == false) { %>
 <td></td>
 <td></td>
 <% } else { %>
 <td>Id</td>
 <td><%= Html.TextBox("Id")%>
  <%= Html.ValidationMessage("Id", "*")%>
 </td>
<%} %>

Here are my entension methods

public static bool IsInputReadOnly(this HtmlHelper helper)
{
    string actionName = ActionName(helper);

    // The Textbox should be read only on all pages except for the lookup page
    if (actionName.ToUpper().CompareTo("EDIT") == 0)
        return true;
    return false;
}

public static bool IsInputDisplayable(this HtmlHelper helper)
{
    string actionName = ActionName(helper);

    // The Textbox should be read only on all pages except for the lookup page
    if (actionName.ToUpper().CompareTo("CREATE") == 0)
        return true;
    return false;
}

Thanks in advance
